So from 100% you increased it by 30% to become 520
130%=540
percent means parts out of 100
130%=130/100=1.3
1.3 of whole=520
divide both sides by 1.3
whole=400
the number was 400
Answer:
4n + 8 = -48
n = -14
Step-by-step explanation:
Using key words from the problem, you can set up an equation with the proper operations to solve for the variable. Product = multiplication, so the 'product of 4 and a number' = 4n. Increased = addition, so increased by 8 = 4n + 8. The word 'is' means equal to, so:
4n + 8 = -48
In order to solve for 'n', you use inverse (opposite) operations and whatever you do to one side of the equation, you do to the other:
Subtract 8: 4n + 8 - 8 = -48 - 8 or 4n = -56
Divide 4: 4n/4 = -56/4
Solve for 'n': n = -14
Answer:
(A) 0.800
(B) 1.000
Step-by-step explanation:
Probability is given by number of possible outcomes ÷ number of total outcomes
(A) Number of possible outcomes = 8, number of total outcomes = 10
Probability (exactly 8 seeds will germinate) = 8/10 = 0.800
(B) Probability (at least 8 seeds will germinate) means either 8 seeds will germinate or more than 8 seeds will germinate
Probability (more than 8 seeds will germinate) = 1 - 0.800 = 0.200
Probability (at least 8 seeds will germinate) = 0.800 + 0.200 = 1.000
Hope this helps you step by step
Answer:
23 dimes; 32 nickel
Step-by-step explanation:
Let n = number of nickels.
Let d = number of dimes.
A nickel is worth $0.05; n nickels are worth 0.05n.
A dime is worth $0.10; d dimes are worth 0.1d.
Number of coins:
d + n = 55
Value of the coins:
0.1d + 0.05n = 3.9
Solve d + n = 55 for d:
d = 55 - n
Substitute 55 - n for d in second equation.
0.1(55 - n) + 0.05n = 3.9
5.5 - 0.1n + 0.05n = 3.9
-0.05n = -1.6
n = 32
Substitute 32 for n in d + n = 55 and solve for d.
d + 32 = 55
d = 23
Answer: 23 dimes; 32 nickel
